KOHLER 1114379-BC Sink Hose Kit

My wife and I have installed many plumbing related items over the years, and usually they end up being more complicated than we originally thought. So, we were prepared for what seemed to be a simple hose replacement here to be harder than we imagined. We were so pleasantly surprised that this hose replacement went so smoothly! We completed the entire repair in just minutes with no problems at all! We simply turned off the water supply under the sink, pushed up on the old quick connector under the sink where it attaches to the faucet, which in turn pushes up the football shaped white connector. Then, while holding the white connector up, we easily pulled the quick connector from the old hose out. Be prepared for a little water to spill out of the hose at this step. Then inserting the new hose was just as easy and all works flawlessly with no leaks at all! So happy we didn't have to replace the entire faucet!

Was quite delighted that this hose turned out to be an OEM Kohler brand replacement part. Hopefully, that means that it will last a good long time! The collet connector fit perfectly, no problem whatsoever (although removing the old hose required taking apart the whole kitchen faucet, LOL). After all the drama of the leak and trying to uncouple the old hose, it was nice that this new hose just fit right. I also bought the wrong hose on my first attempt, not realizing that Kohler changed hoses sometime during the years they were making my particular faucet. Be meticulous in reading the product specs, or better yet: get under your sink and put eyes on your faucet parts before you go buying the replacements. Thumbs up.

This is a really easy replacement, I did not need any tools to do this and did it for fraction of the price of getting it done by a plumber.My kitchen hose sprung a leak and needed to be replaced. Made an appointment with a plumber and anxiously waited, only to find out when he arrived that he wasn't going to be able to help me that day because the hose needed to be ordered. WTH, I thought these are standard hoses that every sink used... Shows my ignorance. Anyways, he told me it had to be special ordered and it'll cost $65-100 plus shipping, and additional labor for installation. Add that to the original appointment so looking at total of $300+. Instead I got to do this for about $42 with expedited shipping. Got it done in about 5 minutes, just need to play with the "collet" to get the bottom part of the hose off. The faucet head is just hand screwed in. You don't need to be a plumber or a super DIY person to do this, you can get this done in just a few minutes.Ok so I'm happy with the purchase on Amazon, but I must say that the hose does not seem to last long as mine was only a few years old and sprung multiple leaks. I guess it's a 5 star OEM replacement for a 3 star original faucet

The hose itself appears to be good quality, and if it fits your faucet then you're golden. The brass end on the connector going to the water line is just like in the product image, however it's not what's depicted in the instructions that came with the hose. What I needed was a brass male connector with threads and an O-ring, to fit my Kohler Carmichael faucet. Unfortunately I couldn't see what connector I needed until I took the faucet apart, which I didn't want to do until I had the replacement hose in hand. So, I should have done deeper research to make sure this was the hose I needed. The photos show the ends of both hoses, as well as the instructions that came with this hose.

Thank GOD amazon sells this item – and they offer it with free same day delivery. Our Kohler faucet unexpectedly (of course) sprang a leak on a Saturday evening. I quickly ran to the local hardware store and thought that a standard hose replacement would work – guess what, it doesn’t – Kohler is “special” and they require “special” parts. Searching frantically on every home improvement website (hoping to find it “in store”) we did find this hose on a few specialty websites (and cheaper too) – but when you NEED the kitchen sink to not leak all over the place LIKE RIGHT NOW, having same day/next day shipping is really a HUGE plus. Installation was a breeze, it took longer to clear out the cabinet underneath the sink than it did to remove the old hose and install a new one. Two tips: before detaching the hose from the underside of the sink – make sure you have a bowl or bucket to catch the remaining water left in the line, and to remove the brass fitting end of the hose that is attached underneath the sink you need to really press up firmly on the white plastic “donut”, it does require a little firm pressure. This was easier with the use of a flat tipped screwdriver.

In some ways this OEM replacement is better than the (20 year old) original — a braided stainless steel casing rather than braided nylon, and an added pivot fitting at the top to reduce the flexing that caused the old one to fail. On the flip side, said fitting seems to reduce the maximum flow a little bit, but still an overall upgrade. Very satisfied.Note that there are two versions of this hose from Kohler, so make sure to get the one that fits your version of the faucet.

This hose is a piece of crap. The next time I see a note by Amazon that says "FREQUENTLY RETIURNED" I'll pay attention. This hose comes with a swivel on the hand sprayer end. That makes it too big to fit inside the faucet body. So there’s a nice crack between the handle and the faucet body when the handle is retracted. I had to take the faucet body off of the sink to get to the disconnect for the sprayer handle hose to attempt to install the new hose. After reassembly and turning on the water the supply hose blew out of the connector and sprayed down the cabinet.I bought a new Moen and won’t ever buy Kohl’s again.
